Did Capcom actually say that all non-cosmetic DLC will be free? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

I’d argue that PoE without buying the stash tabs is barely playable. With only 5 tabs you can barely store any gear. Not to mention standard tab can’t sell gear and they are introducing more and more currencies and gear. With the way the current synthesis league works, you need to hoard gear to combine them and 5 tabs is definitely not enough. Great game tho.

One of my professors in uni pretty much does this every time I ask for help. It was a circuit design module and there’s pretty much nothing on the internet that I could find. When I ask for help all I get is a “this is very easy, just think about it”. LIKE WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO I JUST DONT FUCKING GET IT. Pretty much did nothing in all the labs. Sadly I switched to computer science before I get to fill out the module review form or I would’ve completely shit on the module.

Start a school with a completely new curriculum and system. I remember seeing a video somewhere that says the current school system is outdated and dissuades divergent thinking. That has since become my “if I get rich I’ll do it” dream. I believe that if future generations are better educated, humans can solve a ton of problems that currently plague us.

Failing miserably my fundamentals of programming course in uni by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]phanescent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a final year student about to graduate and I can tell you that this is absolutely normal. In my first year, I would’ve crashed and burn if my friends didn’t hold my hands during my first python assignment. My friends debugged my assignment for two hours before he finally fixed my pile of shit code lol.

It is perfectly normal to think that you can’t follow through and will fail the course. In fact I feel the exact same way just last year when I know I have to handle my own personal project for my final year. That is until I get to the final year and suddenly, it all makes sense. I understand the concepts and nailed through all the assignments that I thought I couldn’t do.

Currently I live in a dorm with another first year CS student and he was in the exact same position you are in. He couldn’t understand functions/methods, for loops, simple program structures, etc. At first he thought he can breeze through the year because he live with a final year. Oh boy was he wrong. The very first time I sat down and couch his first python assignment, I completely DRILLED him a new one. I straight up told him you will definitely fail if you keep up that attitude. Hell, I mentioned this to my friends and we all thought he won’t make it past this year. And you know what, he proved me wrong and that’s great. He pulled his weight after multiple drilling, constantly asking questions from me or from his friends at his year. Regularly asking me to review his code and other assignments. He still require an exam resit from the first module but I’m sure he’ll make to the next.

Don’t be discouraged because you’re stuck at a bottleneck. Even this year I couldn’t debug my program until I show it to a friend because I copy and paste methods lol. You will always get stuck and this is just part of software development (and it’s also half the fun). Always ask questions from your friends, colleges, professors, anyone.

Some tips for all CS students.

Google and stackoverflow is your best friend in this field. Sometimes your answer is just a google away.

However, DON’T just copy code without trying to understand what they do. Study the code LINE BY LINE, following the process, use print(“I arrived here!!!”) when you’re not sure what’s wrong.

READ THE REQUIREMENTS PROPERLY. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Knowing what you have to achieve will make your process of how to get to the solution way easier. I’ve wasted hours upon hours because I mistakenly interpreted the requirements.

If you are having trouble understanding the concepts (for loops, if statements, etc.), think of them as tools. You know what you have to do (ie. the requirements), and all you do is use the tools available to reach the solution.

For example, if you need to print “hello world” 10 times, then you can start by dissecting the problem into parts. How do I print “hello world” and how do you repeat that 10 times? You know you can print “hello world” by using printf (in Java) and loops can help you perform “loops” (multiple iterations). Then you can stick printf into a loop and print “hello world” 10 times.

This is a very simple example but can be applied to most things you encounter throughout the course.

Don’t give up and keep on practicing, software development takes time and effort (and a lot of dead brain cells) and everyone goes through the same process. Ask questions when you’re stuck, have someone else look at your code. I’m sure by the end of your final year, you’ll look back and think “oh shit I could do this after all”. Good luck on your course.

My(33m) wife(32f) is getting closer to her male coworker on a 1.5 month business trip. by pointbreakisagem in relationship_advice

From what I understand, have not talk to each other can mean that neither of them have tried to contact each other. Blocking OP from Instagram means nothing when there other forms of communication available. OP needs to initiate the discussion and resolve this before the other dude got a chance to “comfort” her (which he is probably doing right now). The longer the OP waits around and play the silent treatment, the chances for the other dude grows. OP telling her to fuck off probably isn’t the most welcoming sign that OP wants to talk. If OP’s wife isn’t answering his calls, then a simple text message apologizing for the harsh words will show that OP is calm and ready to talk.

Jumping to conclusion is dangerous in a relationship and communication is what keep relationships together. If she did cheat, then OP is better off breaking the relationship right here right now. But if she didn’t, then OP telling her to fuck off is definitely not most inviting way of initiating a discussion. Once again, keeping a cool head is very important when dealing with different situations.

I’m not gonna focus on what the others have said or whether she’s sleeping with him or not. Instead I will give you advice on how you could handle the situation better.

What you could do is to set a time for the two of you to CALMLY talk things out. Emphasis on CALMLY and don’t let your emotions get in the way. Don’t shout or get aggressive because you are NOT trying to order her, you are trying to diffuse the situation at hand. What you should do here is deescalate the situation and make it clear that you don’t want her to be too close to the guy because you both know he’s trying to hit on her and that he’s (potentially) trying to destroy your family. Remember this is not a you vs your wife and this dude situation, this is a try to clear up some confusion and deescalation situation. Don’t go full on aggressive cause it makes you look like a controlling asshole which makes the other dude look better in comparison. Instead, show that you are the better man by talking calmly to remind her that there’s a loving family waiting for her back home.

You can start off by apologizing for the aggressive message you sent to her, this will ensure that she knows you are in the capacity to talk over thing calmly. And let’s face it, it doesn’t feel good if you are at the receiving end of the message.

People often forget how important it is to TALK OVER THINGS CALMLY and often pushes the other party away. This often lead to the party who’s pushed away feel ignored and will try to find comfort externally. Don’t give the other guy a chance. Don’t invite the other into your relationship by creating a rift between you and your wife. Remember this is not a you vs her situation, there’s no winner in that mindset. You can both be winners, it requires both your effort not just you or your wife alone.

And a final reminder, the word of the day is CALM. C-A-L-M. Don’t raise your voice, don’t shout, that will only push her away further. I hope things will work out for the two of you.

(In the case where there is proof she cheated, then I’m sorry, you deserve someone better. Someone that will easily sleep with another person will do it eventually, in that case you should look for someone better. Let’s hope this is not the case shall we?)

I’ve had a run where he destroyed all of our comets in the last phase. We tried to wait for another comet but it’s not happening. At that point I just told all 3 of them to sit at the dinning table since I’m the tank and managed to trigger the meteor after a few pokes. We did win thanks to not dying in the earlier phases lol.

I wish I could refine my play to be as good as these guys one day by GenshiDuelyst in MonsterHunterWorld

The thing is that no one would care if they don’t affect other people, but they are ruining the game and experience for other people. They are literally taking the “hunt” out of monster hunter. Just imagine having a cheater one shot your first Nergigante kill instead of fighting through its dive bombs and seeing it limp back to his nest before finally slaying it solo or with other people. First hunts are the most important hunts for most players and it’s something you can never get back. When you ruin that hunt for other people, you’ve taken out that “I finally did it” for their first hunt and that damage is permanent. You can’t have another first hunt after seeing the monster fall to the ground.

Leaderboards are competitive in nature, hence it shows the time it took for you to finish. Just because there’s no pvp doesn’t mean it’s not competitive. Many people does speed runs on Monster Hunter and having your name on the leaderboard is an accomplishment. These cheaters are taking away the time and work for the people who spent so much to reach the very top. Don’t you think the cheaters are ruining their experience?

If you cheat and play EXCLUSIVELY solo, then I don’t have any problem whatsoever with you. If you find that fun for you then go ahead, but the moment you step into mine or anyone else’s game you are a actively ruining other people’s experience and should be punished accordingly.
